Iraq penalty taker

Amir Al-Ammari is our current Iraq penalty taker call, with Aymen Hussein next in line if the order changes.

Amir Al-Ammari has the strongest direct Iraq evidence right now because Transfermarkt's national-team penalty log records him converting Iraq's late World Cup qualifying penalty against the UAE in November 2025. That is the cleanest recent senior spot-kick in the file and it is enough to review Iraq into the main board. Aymen Hussein remains the best secondary because he is still Iraq's main centre-forward and biggest open-play scorer, so he is the likeliest fallback if Al-Ammari is absent or the order shifts.

If you searched for Iraq penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the quickest answer we are willing to publish right now. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order makes the cut.

For World Cup 2026, Amir Al-Ammari is the current first-choice call for Iraq, with Aymen Hussein the closest backup if the tournament order shifts.

A fresh in-match penalty can move this page quickly, especially if it contradicts the current lead or happens with the full-strength tournament pool on the pitch.

For the more conditional boards, one more clean senior penalty is often enough to sharpen the backup line or flip the order outright.
